On Thursday 29 April we tested the brandnew Torqeedo electric motor, the Travel 1003 on the Leie.
This is the newest product in their range and also the most powerful. It produces around 1000W, matching a 2/3 HP combustion engine in thrust.
The test resulted in following numbers:
Tessa - LOA: 6m, beam: 1,2m, weight: 280kg
max speed: 11, 5 km/h, with an 11 km range
cruising speed: 6,5 km/h, with a 23 km range

The Ommelander was built in 1939, with a teak hull, deck and transom, and oak frames and keel. She has an overall length of 8,10 meter, is 2,30 meter wide, and with a displacement of 4,6 tonnes she's one hell of a project. Expect to see frequent updates!
